Today, I want to share with you some water decals that I received from Born Pretty Store.

I used the colorful square water decals on my middle finger. The water decals are so easy to use and can quickly add an extra touch a simple mani. I definitely received a lot of compliments on this mani! :)

This is the #6 loose glitters. It comes in a twist top container as pictured above.

To do my nails, I simply painted a clear coat of nail polish on my nails and before the polish dried, I quickly dipped my nail into the container of glitters. I repeated that twice and then sealed with a thick coat of top coat.

The pictures do not do justice!! The glitters are soooo sparkly and I could not keep my eyes off of my nails! :D

I figured that since my galaxy nails never turn out well, why not order galaxy nail wraps? hahaha :D They are easy to apply as well as to take off. I received so many compliments on my nails while wearing these! :D

And with the studs, I recreated the infamous beach mani~ The studs are the perfect size! The backs are flat so they lay on the nail comfortably. I also used the 3mm silver seashell studs that I got from BPS, as well as pearls.

I quite like this mani! :D So bright and summer! :)

By the way, I just created an Instagram account specifically for my nails, please feel free to follow -- @katrinasnailblog :)

Still trucking along, trying to catch up on my manis from last year. Here are the manis I did last June~

A random skittle mani using the 2-in-1 nail art pen & nail polishes that my (ex) boss got me. The lines aren’t all that clean but it’s not too bad considering the “pen” doesn’t have a brush as the tip.

This is two coats of Seche Opulent, a beautiful raspberry cream. In some lightings, this polish leans more raspberry, in others, it leans a little bit more raspberry-red, as shown below.

With flash, Opulent looks a bit more raspberry-red.

The two photos shown above were layered with one coat of Seche Vite Top Coat. So shiny and glossy! 8) Of course, this top coat dries super fast! This is my first time using the Seche Vite top coat in almost three years. When I first got into nail art (almost FIVE years ago! ah!), this was my go-to top coat! Unfortunately, when I would get about half-way with the bottle, it would usually causes shrinkage on my manis so I stopped using the Seche Vite top coat. I'm not sure if it would still do the same thing now, but it's definitely a good top coat.

A big thanks to Live Love Polish for sending me these two items. Be sure to check out the site, you can purchase these Seche products and many other great brands of nail polishes as well! :D Also, the Seche Vite Top Coat is currently on sale for $6.99!! :D
